Aluminum Frying Pans

Aluminum pans are ideal for those who prefer lightweight and practical cookware. They are much lighter than cast iron or stainless steel pans, making them comfortable to use and easy to handle. A popular choice is the Cookinglife Style collection, which combines lightweight design with ease of use. Thanks to their excellent heat conduction, aluminum pans heat quickly and evenly, giving you plenty of control while cooking and making them particularly suitable for simmering and reheating dishes, as well as frying fish, eggs, and breaded dishes.

For those who value durability and robustness, the Cookinglife Proforge collection is an excellent option. Aluminum pans are also ideal for low-fat frying and sautéing, with the innovative Cookinglife Revolt series excelling in its combination of modern technology and practical features. For a long lifespan, we recommend washing the pan by hand rather than in the dishwasher.

Stainless steel frying pans

Stainless steel pans are known for their durability and versatility. They are scratch and impact resistant, meaning they often last a lifetime. Models like the Cookinglife Superior collection feature a triple-layered construction, with layers of steel and aluminum ensuring fast and even heat distribution. Thanks to their high heat resistance, stainless steel pans can be used at high temperatures and even in the oven, as long as they don't contain any plastic parts. They are easy to maintain, often dishwasher safe, and free of PFAS and PTFE. For those seeking even higher performance, the Cookinglife Hexacook collection offers a 5-ply construction with additional layers of metal for increased strength and professional cooking results.

Cast Iron Frying Pans

Cast iron pans are popular for their excellent cooking properties and long lifespan. They're known for their exceptionally good heat retention: once heated, they stay hot for a long time, ideal for creating a beautiful crust and even cooking. They also withstand high temperatures, making them easy to sear, sear, and even go straight from the stove top to the oven.

Our Blackwell pans are a perfect fit, combining the classic benefits of cast iron with a robust and stylish look. Cast iron is also durable and lasts a lifetime; any scuffs can easily be removed by reseasoning the pan. With proper care, the pan develops a natural non-stick coating, completely free of PFAS and PTFE, making cooking easier and easier.

Gietijzeren Koekenpannen

Gietijzeren pannen zijn geliefd vanwege hun uitstekende kookeigenschappen en lange levensduur. Ze staan bekend om hun extreem goede warmtebehoud: eenmaal op temperatuur blijven ze lang heet, wat ideaal is voor het creëren van een mooie korst en een gelijkmatige garing. Daarnaast zijn ze bestand tegen hoge temperaturen, waardoor je er moeiteloos mee kunt aanbraden, schroeien en de pan direct van het fornuis in de oven kunt zetten.

Onze pannen van Blackwell sluiten hier perfect bij aan en combineren de klassieke voordelen van gietijzer met een robuuste en stijlvolle uitstraling. Gietijzer is bovendien duurzaam en gaat een leven lang mee; eventuele slijtplekken kun je eenvoudig wegwerken door de pan opnieuw in te branden. Met de juiste verzorging ontwikkelt de pan een natuurlijke antiaanbaklaag, helemaal zonder PFAS of PTFE, die het koken steeds makkelijker maakt.
